On the royal road of the Taihe Hall out of the palace gate, the ring is tinkling, crisp and pleasant.

When the Eight Sages walked out of the temple gate and were about to go down the steps, they saw a person waiting at the door.

It was the Marquis of Wu, the secretary of the military department, Lu Gongyou.

At that time, the Eight Sages King smiled slightly and walked over: "Gong You." ”

When Lu Gongyou heard the voice, he turned around and bowed slightly to the Eight Sages King: "Teacher." ”

In the early years, Lu Gongyou served under the Eight Sages King, in Mobei and in the western Xinjiang, and broke out of a land dragon nickname, which was so famous that he chased the Eight Sages King, but Lu Gongyou always recognized a reason, without the Eight Sages King, there would be no Lu Gongyou today.

Stretched out his hand and grabbed the right arm of the Eight Sage Kings, and the Eight Sages King took a position, slowly walking down the steps.

"Gong You, why didn't you say a word this morning, if you can say a few words, then how dare Feng Jun and Lu Yiping do this?"

Lu Gongyou, who was holding the Eight Sages King with a disciple salute, had no expression on his face, and said, "With the teacher, the two of them don't dare to be too presumptuous. ”

The Eight Sages King shook his head helplessly: "The old man is already seventy, sooner or later he will return to the loess, when the time comes, Your Majesty is a great youth, and the burden will fall on your shoulders sooner or later, if you are not skilled in advance, how can you do it." ”

Lu Gongyou said seriously: "I'll talk about it then." ”

The Eight Sages King landed on Lu Gongyou: "You, that is, you will be interested in the army, to be honest, you and Shen Yijing belong to the same young and strong faction in the army, and he Shen Yijing is more alive than you, no matter in the court, no matter who does not regard him as a confidant, who is like you, he is in his thirties, and he is still single." ”

Lu Gongyou looked up at the Eight Sages King: "Aren't you the same, Teacher?" ”

The Eight Sages King suddenly stopped talking: "···"

"You guy, you still talk so ruthlessly." The Eight Sages smiled helplessly.

While laughing, I couldn't help but start a trance in my heart.

Zhao Jue, the king of the eight sages, was born in the royal family since he was a child, and is the younger brother of Xuanzong (the old emperor's temple number, the empress's father), the mourning emperor (the first emperor's temple number, the empress's brother) and the uncle of today's saint, who is in power, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and warriors in the frontier are all brought out by the eight sages king.

It can be said that as long as the Eight Sages King gives an order, which of the hundreds of thousands of elites is not willing to die and forget his life and go to the soup for the Eight Sages King?

Moreover, whether it is the first emperor or the current empress, they are all supported by the Eight Sages King to sit on the dragon throne, and they have military power in their hands and the power of supporting the dragon.

With the blessing of various reasons, since the beginning of the old emperor, until the current empress, Zhao Jue has been given eight thrones in a row, from the beginning of the title of King of Chu, to protect the country, protect the country, town the country, set the country, set the territory, backer, and the title of the eight virtuous kings of the country is on his head Zhao Jue, one king eats eight kings, not to mention the privilege of beating the king and removing the traitor. Sui Yang has been established for more than 300 years, and it is impossible to find such a person.

That is, in the past few years, the old illness of the Eight Sage Kings has relapsed and he has stayed away from the temple, otherwise the Eight Sage Kings will go to the temple and stand on the temple, let you be full of civil and military affairs, who dares to say a word more?

Even Liu Maolin, the veteran prime minister of the Three Dynasties, was still respectful.

Thinking of these things, Zhao Jue, the Eight Sages King, was embarrassed, all people saw in front of him was how beautiful he was, but who knew that with these many titles, there were many constraints.

Everyone in the world knows that your prestige in the army of the Eight Sages is higher than that of the emperor, in case you have a different heart and erect a counter-flag, who can cure you?

It is precisely because of this that the Eight Sages King, who is already over seventy years old, has not married a wife, has not given birth to children, and is lonely for the rest of his life, so as to show that he has no intention of taking the throne.

While the royal family gave him honor, it also deprived him of some freedom.

The Eight Sages raised their heads and couldn't help but sigh.

He looked at Lu Gongyou and said: "You are different from me, you can have a family and have children, I know, there is a daughter of the chief of the family in your hometown, you have played since you were a child, and you have been waiting for you for 20 years, listen to the teacher's words, change your mind to find a good day and an auspicious day, how about I protect the media for you?" ”

Lu Gongyou shook his head resolutely: "No." ”

Seeing that Lu Gongyou was so resolute, the Eight Sages King didn't know what to do.

He has brought out countless generals, some of them are in high positions, and some of them have returned to their hometowns, but none of them are as stubborn as Lu Gongyou.

Seeing that Lu Gongyou could not be persuaded to do so, the Eight Sages King had no choice but to shake his head.

The master and apprentice continued to walk, and when the officials passing by the lower court saw it, they all stopped and arched their hands, and respectfully shouted the prince and the marquis, and the eight sages responded very easily, but Lu Gongyou was indifferent as if he didn't see it.

The two of them walked and walked, and saw a group of people gathered in front of them, and the leader was not Wen Hou Li Tianxing, who else would it be?

Feng Jun and Lu Yiping were like juniors, following behind Li Tianxing.

Lu Gongyou looked at this situation and couldn't help frowning: "Tianxing has changed since he entered the court. ”

In the early years, Li Tianxing and Lu Gongyou both worked under the Eight Sages King, and both of them were proud disciples of the Eight Sages King, and it was for this reason that Lu Gongyou and Li Tianxing's personal relationship was very good.

The Eight Sages King waved his hand: "Tianxing is a civil official, how can a civil official not get together?" ”

Although Lu Gongyou knew this reason, he still couldn't let go: "The Qingzhou Party in the DPRK is gradually growing, Your Majesty is worried about how to suppress the Qingzhou Party every day, Tianxing is too close to them, I'm worried..."

The Eight Sages King sighed and said: "Tianxing was originally from Qingzhou, if he doesn't get close to the Qingzhou Party, can't he get close to those gangs in Jiangdong?" If that's the case, Tianxing won't be able to stay in the court, and just the Qingzhou Party can make him eat everywhere. ”

When Lu Gongyou heard this, he also sighed, he knew the truth, but he just couldn't let go.

"That's right, Gong You."

"What's wrong, teacher?"

"Do you know this person Wang Xiaolai?"

"Wang Xiaolai? Was it the same Yu Lin Lang who was sent by His Majesty to exterminate the bandits near the refugee settlement a month ago? ”

"That's right."

"There's nothing to do, what did you mention him to do?"

The Eight Sages King turned his head and glanced at Lu Gongyou: "This kid is not simple, judging from His Majesty's appointment to him these days, it won't take long for him to enter the temple and become an official in the same dynasty as you." ”

Lu Gongyou frowned.

"This kid, it's interesting, when, you can deal with him."

"Hmm."

The Eight Sages King stretched his waist and continued to walk: "Having said that, I didn't expect Your Majesty to send Narcissus to Wang Xiaolai, the two of them, it will be awkward to meet, Your Majesty is also big-hearted, and he is not afraid of contradictions." ”

Lu Gongyou thought for a while: "Narcissus, this child, is arrogant and stubborn, teacher, do you want me to write a letter to Narcissus and let her pay attention." ”

The Eight Sages King waved his hand: "No, I think Your Majesty sent Narcissus to assist Wang Xiaolai, not to sharpen Narcissus's temperament, but to let Narcissus learn Wang Xiaolai's eight-sided exquisite skills, and you and I had better not interfere in this matter." ”

When Lu Gongyou heard this, he snorted.

"Having said that, Narcissus was asked to enter the palace by His Majesty, Gong You, how long have you not spoken to Narcissus?" The Eight Sages asked.

Lu Gongyou thought for a while: "Two years." ”

When the Eight Sages heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads and laughed: "You person, no matter what you say, you are also the adoptive father of Narcissus, and you don't say a word to the child, so you are not afraid that she will be angry with you?" ”

The words fell into his ears, and Lu Gongyou was silent.

When Narcissus was four years old, her biological father died on the battlefield, and her mother abandoned her to remarry, and Lu Gongyou, who was a comrade-in-arms of Narcissus's biological father, took Narcissus back to his home and brought him up from childhood to adulthood.

It can be said that without Lu Gongyou, Narcissus would not be where it is today, and Narcissus's ability, temper, and personality are almost all influenced by Lu Gongyou.

The Eight Sages King patted Lu Gongyou on the shoulder, and said, "Take the time to look at Narcissus, no matter what, she is not more than twenty this year." ”

Lu Gongyou pursed his lips: "There are forty-three days left, and it is Narcissus's nineteenth birthday." ”

The Eight Sages King was stunned at the time: "You remember it so clearly. ”

Lu Gongyou hummed softly.

"Have you decided to give her something?"

Lu Gongyou looked up at the Eight Sages King, pursed his lips, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "No." ”

"It just so happens that Suizhu's birthday is coming soon, I, as an uncle, should also give some gifts to the child, let's go to Nancheng Street to pick some."

Lu Gongyou shook his head: "No." ”

The Eight Sages King only felt that his head was big: "You guy, no wonder Narcissus is with you, and your temper is so stubborn." ”

"Lord Wang, Lord Hou, please stay."

The two were walking, when they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them, and when they looked back, they saw that it was a small yellow door.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong?" The Eight Sages asked.

The little yellow door said: "Your Majesty invites the prince and the marquis of Lu to go to the imperial study." ”
